               Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-8

Dear Sirs:

      I have acted as counsel to The Chase Manhattan Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration statement on
Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") being filed by the Company on the date
hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), with respect to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
$1 par value per share, of the Company (the "Shares"), that may be issued
pursuant to the 401(k) Savings Plan of The Chase Manhattan Bank (the "Plan").

      In so acting I have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise
identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other
instruments as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this
opinion. Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that when the
Registration Statement has become effective under the Act and the Shares are
issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Shares will be duly
authorized, validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable shares of the
Company's Common Stock, $1 par value per share.

      I hereby consent to the use of this opinion for filing with the
Registration Statement as Exhibit 5 thereto. In giving such consent, I do not
thereby admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required
under Section 7 of the Act.


                                        Very truly yours,


                                          /s/Neila B. Radin
